Safe place (Markhyuck)

37

As hard as it is for Mark, he leaves Haechan with a note and a kiss so he can go home and get ready for the long day ahead of him. He lingers in the bedroom doorway staring at Haechan's sweet face before backing out and walking away.
When he gets home he sees Renjun ready for work sitting on Jaemin's lap kissing him.
"Hey guys." He says hoping they will break it up, which they do.
"Good morning Mark, have a good weekend?" Jaemin asks watching the smile stretch across Mark's face.
"Very good." He says as he walks into his room to get ready.
It doesn't take too long and him and Renjun are heading out to work.

Jeno is going to see Haechan today so he can walk with him to the cafe, he is going to meet Shotaro tonight and Mark is going to buy his drink since he didn't get to come last time. When he gets to Haechan's he sees him nervously pacing.
"What's up with you? Not ready for this?" Jeno asks carefully. Haechan sighs and faces him.
"I'm a little nervous for obvious reasons but also it's too hot for a turtle neck and Mark may have gotten a little carried away." He says stepping into the light to Jeno cackling.
"Holy shit, yeah. Maybe he should make them lower next time." Haechan rolls his eyes.
"There are plenty there too." Jeno shrugs.
"Do you love him?" He asks.
"Very much so." Jeno smiles and nods.
"Then wear it like a badge." Haechan giggles.
"I know it's just that it's so big." He says holding his hand on his neck.

"In other news though, we had amazing sex yesterday and Mark is so perfect I'm kind of scared." Jeno sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"I'm glad the sex was amazing, not that I needed to hear about it, but you should know that Mark is not perfect. Yes maybe he and you fit together perfectly but that doesn't make him perfect so don't worry, one day he will do something stupid and piss you off to let you know your boyfriend is human just like you." Haechan laughs and nods his head.
"Ok, I feel better now. I'll make sure to come to you so you can knock some sense into him when he does." Now Jeno giggles and holds out his hand.
"Ready?" Haechan nods, smiling big.
"As I'll ever be."

They get to the cafe arm in arm, as they walk in Jungwoo is the first to greet them.
"Oh hi, Mark is in the back. Sit where you want and I'll come get your order." He starts to take their order which just happens to be their usual so Jungwoo heads over to make them right away.  Mark comes out and sets the box down that he went to get and feels his heart rate speed up immediately as soon as he sees him. He quickly walks over and pulls Haechan up out of his seat and kisses him deeply before resting his forehead on the other.

"I'm sorry, I just missed you so much." He says to a winded Haechan.
"It's fine I missed you too, I wouldn't mind another." Mark doesn't hesitate and gives him what he wants before softly kissing the bruise on his neck.
"Ok, I get it. I won't make out with Jaemin or Renjun in front of you again." Mark and Haechan giggle.
"Uh huh." Mark says knowing he's full of shit.
"You guys look so happy though." He says smiling. They both just grin and nod.

"You are still on the clock so let's keep the PDA to a minimum." Jungwoo says walking up with their drinks.
"Sorry, I missed him. It's been a long day." Jeno and Jungwoo make eye contact as they giggle.
"Oh Uh, ok are you ready? He's here waiting?"Haechan smiles softly.
"Yeah I am." He says quietly. He sits across from Jeno again and waits nervously until he sees one of the cutest people he's ever seen. He seems to be close to the same height but his cute features make him seem younger. Haechan stands to greet him and is pleasantly surprised by his soft spoken nature, it suits him.

"Hi, I'm Shotaro and you must be Haechan. Well I'm sure you are since I came to meet Mark's boyfriend and I saw him kiss you." He looks away embarrassed as Haechan and the others giggle.
"Sorry, I get a little nervous meeting new people." He says softly making Haechan smile and coo.
"It's ok, me too." Shotaro smiles and sits beside Jeno so Mark can be by his boyfriend.
"Mark told me you have Agoraphobia? I think you are doing amazing if you do and I'm honored to get to meet you. Mark used to try to be secretive that he had a love interest, but he couldn't hide it well." Mark frowns as the other three giggle.

"Sorry, I'm talking too much again aren't I?" Haechan laughs, he couldn't hide his happiness if he tried.
"No, I like it. You are funny and cute. And I hope that my Markie never falls for your charms." He says pouting and kissing Mark's cheek. Mark laughs as Shotaro smiles softly, winking at Haechan.
"I'm sure that even with a thousand beautiful people around him he would still only look at you." He says sweetly making Haechan love him more.

They end up visiting past Mark's break time so he has to get up to leave while the others visit more.

"He's doing so well, you must be happy." Mark smiles and looks at Haechan laughing with the others.
"I'm happy for him, I honestly fell for him the way he was. I didn't have expectations, this is all him and his desire to be out in the world. I know that with each new experience it will help a lot." Jungwoo hums.
"So yeah we will be doing these all week and maybe even some more next week so he can try to meet his goal." Jungwoo chuckles.
"No problem here, more customers for me." He shrugs and gets back to work.

When Mark sees that the three are getting ready to head out he walks over.
"Can I talk to you alone for a minute?" He asks Haechan, who quickly agrees and follows Mark out the door. Haechan is surprised when he is softly wrapped in Mark's arms and hugged tightly.
"I just wanted to hold you before you left. I love you baby, I hope you had some fun tonight?" He nods into Mark's chest.
"I did, thank you for doing this." Mark kisses him softly and touches his face.
"You look extra beautiful tonight, how do you do that?" Haechan sighs with red cheeks before slapping him in the chest lightly.

"This isn't necessary, you've already got into my pants and I'm pretty sure I'll let you back in." Mark laughs which makes Haechan smile.
"Sorry if I get clingy and love you too much, it's just who I am." Haechan smiles and grabs his hand, kissing his fingers.
"Well I guess it's a good thing I love you for who you are then." He says softly. Mark kisses him on the lips again before he finally lets him go.

"We should get back inside, they are probably wondering where we are." They get back in and see everyone, including Jungwoo since the customers have dwindled, sitting and laughing and it makes both of them happy for a possibles future filled with lots of friends and fun.
After making sure Mark wasn't going to be upset, Haechan asked Shotaro for his number so they could talk whenever and honestly Mark isn't threatened at all, he wants Haechan to make a lot of friends and be the happiest he can be.
When they left that night Mark watched Jeno and Haechan walk out and he felt nothing but pride and when he finally gets off work later he of course stops to see his baby who is waiting patiently for him. They cuddle together for a while before Mark has to leave and it is as usual, the perfect end to their night.
